JAKARTA - Excess weight can affect the health of the body. These things like a harder working heart, pressure on the arteries and joints, and inflammation that results in diabetes and heart disease. Quoted from Insider, Sunday, May 2, here are 5 signs that someone should lose weight and consult an expert.

Joint pain

If just walking or going down stairs is tiring, this could be a sign that your body is too heavy and is impacting your joints. Diet and regular exercise can help you lose weight and reduce pain in the joints.

Snoring too loud

Snoring during sleep is one of the conditions that interfere with breathing. When the body stores too much fat in the neck, breathing becomes short and choked up. This causes loud snoring and less restful sleep.

High blood pressure

Excess weight can contribute to high blood pressure. This causes the cardiovascular system to have to work extra to regulate oxygen exchange in the body. Implementing a healthy diet can help lower blood pressure.

High cholesterol

Losing weight is the main way to lower cholesterol levels in the body. Other habits besides diet also affect the appearance of cholesterol, such as nutritional intake and regular exercise patterns. Dietary changes can lower bad cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart disease.

Diabetes

Excess fat in the body can affect the health of the pancreas, the organ that stores and releases insulin. Insulin is a hormone that controls blood sugar levels in the body.

If fat is reduced, the pancreas can work more optimally and be able to control blood sugar levels properly. This can have an effect on curing diabetes.
